How Shoulder Position Affects Hand Grip Strength in Older Adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study measures how your hand grip strength changes when your arm is in different positions. Researchers want to understand how shoulder posture affects grip, which could help doctors better assess strength in older adults.

This study compares muscle strength between older adults with and without sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will have their handgrip, biceps, and quadriceps strength measured to understand how weakness affects balance and mobility.
This study measures how reliably a healthy young adult can sense their own grip force. It helps researchers understand how to assess hand proprioception, or your hand's ability to know its position and effort.
This study looks at how well your bones and muscles work together. By measuring your bone density and handgrip strength, doctors can better understand your bone health and find ways to keep you strong as you age.
This study looks at how shoulder problems affect muscle strength and balance. It may help understand why shoulder pain can affect your daily activities.
This study looks at how shoulder rotation strength relates to hand grip strength in university teachers who do overhead activities. It may help understand why some teachers develop shoulder or hand problems.
This study looks at how tiredness in the elbow muscles affects how strongly you can grip with your hand. If you are a healthy young adult without any arm or hand problems, you may be able to help.
